Harry Potter inside meMe, my parents, aunt and uncle, brother and sister and 80-year-old Grandfather were sat down for Christmas dinner. I hadn't eaten all day, saving myself for the spread; and this coupled with the fact that I am a complete lightweight meant that the three glasses of champagne I'd drunk had gone straight to my head. My mum was telling everyone about my plans to be an author one day, her exact words being "Oh yes, I think Susanna has a Harry Potter inside her."
This struck me as being an hilarious statement, and so I shouted "WHOA! Disturbing image!" at the top of my voice. My utterly sober family all turned to stare at me, so I added the qualifier "I didn't mean it like that!"
Later that evening I fell headfirst into the boot of the car. Being the only drunk at Christmas is rubbish.
